With your use of a "double negative", what you really said was that I think that Menzies IS doing the same thing that Izzo is doing---which is the case. I am not such an insecure person that I feel that more information will not be helpful to Menzie or anyone else.Coyotenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-329704804477388422010-03-16T15:14:05.515-06:002010-03-16T15:14:05.515-06:00Anon 12:39

Did anybody see them practically making out after the game on ESPN 2?<br /><br />Not hating, just obvious that she was excited and supportive.<br /><br />This is pretty ironic. We, myself included, take jabs at Menzies any chance we get. Now we need to start hoping that another school does not comes after his services! With the exception of Gibson, this is his team. He has assembled it and stood behind it through thick and thin. Now he's going dancing! Goog for him!!<br /><br />I wish this team would always play to their potential. Can't wait for tournament and for next years season. I hope the team stays eligible, because other than heart, theres no reason this team cant be great. I thik we will be much more of an inside team next year.

Playing strong half court defense and not taking the quick contested jump shot. Gibson did throw up a couple of bad shots last night, but they really shared the ball well and worked it into the post extremely well the last two games. Defensively they had some big stops in the half court late in the ball game.

First, against Nevada, he had his defenders adjust after Babbit was tearing up the Aggie defense. The defense adjusted and made him move to his right. Clearly, the guy is fantastic going to his left, but not very good going to his right. That adjustment was huge. Second, the Aggies played gritty defense against USU. The shots from the outside were better contested and the help defense was there. Holding them to 63 points shows a great effort.<br /><br />Good luck in the tourney!SMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-34833930380668821022010-03-14T07:31:34.041-06:002010-03-14T07:31:34.041-06:00Man, I had a tought time sleeping last night...too...Man, I had a tought time sleeping last night...too much adrenalin!<br /><br />Big up's to Coach Menzies and the boys! <br />It wasn't the prettiest of seasons but, they got on a roll and they are taking us dancing!!<br /><br /> VicAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-3304717102707472342010-03-14T01:07:19.291-07:002010-03-14T01:07:19.291-07:00If Menzies can get the Aggies' collective head...If Menzies can get the Aggies' collective heads out of the clouds so they can grunt out two more wins, he deserves the $25K.
